Billy Lyrics - Keith Urban

1 Billy left on Friday night with twenty dollars cash

2 Had a thousand more and a diamond on his hand

3 When he got back

4 I don't know just where Billy got that dough.

5 Saturday he spent in style

6 Drinks were on the house

7 Lincoln here, and a Jackson there

8 Suspicions were aroused.

9 A dime was dropped and a name was named

10 A body soon was found

11 A travelin' Bilble salesman

12 On his monthly trip to town.

13 Three bullet holes

14 A .38 done took his soul

15 What do you know

16 No diamond ring, no money roll.

17 A quick investigation

18 They dragged Billy to the station

19 And broke him down with the third degree

20 His alibi unraveled

21 Judge Riley banged his gavel

22 A 12-man jury all agreed

23 So he must be guilty.

24 I knew Billy spent that night

25 Winning big at cards

26 And the salesman was a married man

27 Who broke my sisters heart.

28 Billy sits in Levenworth

29 Waiting for the gas

30 And I know lots of other things

31 But no one ever asked.

32 So they'll never know

33 Swear to God they'll never know

34 Case is closed, that's how

35 The story will be told...
